The RateHawk Content API is built to make accommodation content management faster, easier, and more precise. These core features work together to help you maintain accurate, up-to-date accommodation data:
- Incremental updates: Stay current with minimal effort by retrieving only newly added or modified content.
- Flexible filtering: Filter by region (country), star rating, property type, direct suppliers, and other parameters, with hotel prioritization information included.
- Hotel reviews API: Add timely guest feedback using a dedicated endpoint.
- Comprehensive documentation: Start directly from the documentation with no manual setup required.
How the Content API helps your business
These features deliver measurable value for your business. Here’s how they help you work more efficiently and stay competitive:
- Improve data freshness and reduce processing time: Keep your accommodation database current and cut processing time by retrieving only newly added or modified content.
- Target precisely what you need: Download only the hotels you want by applying filters, such as region (country), star rating, property type, direct suppliers, and more.
- Streamline your development team’s workflow: Eliminate manual file requests and reduce long processing times.
- Prioritize high-value properties: Identify quality hotels first so you can map and match them more efficiently.
How to get started with the Content API
Integrating the feature is straightforward:
- Contact your RateHawk Account Manager or our API support team to enable access.
- Review the technical documentation, which includes all integration details, filter options, and practical examples.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use this new feature:
- Choose your desired geography and filters to define your criteria.
- Receive a list of hotels based on the criteria you have set.
- Download static hotel content such as name, address, photos, and descriptions.
- Use incremental update logic (based on updated_at and NEW / UPDATED filters) to keep your database fresh and reduce processing time.
Important: The Content API is designed exclusively for static hotel content (e.g., name, address, photos, descriptions). It must not be used for real-time enrichment of search responses. All static data should be preloaded and stored in your database in advance.
